Abstract

Gas-phase alkylations of delocalized ambident anions, Y---CH---X- where X, Y=CH2, O, or S, have been investigated theoretically at the MP2/6-31+G*//MP2/6-31+G* and QCISD/6-31+G*//MP2/6-31+G* lev-els. O-and S-alkylations (X=O and S) are more favored kinetically by ΔE^≠ = 4.6 and 9.8 kcal mol-1 than the respective C-alkylations even though they are thermodynamically less favored by 22.4 and 6.0 kcal mol-1 respectively. It was found that the transition structures for the C-alkylations are imbalanced due to the endoergic rehybridi-zation of the carbon center from sp2 to sp3 which leads to premature bond contraction of the C-Y bond and delayed bond stretching of the C-X bond. In the O-, or S-alkylation, such endoergic process is not required since the σ-lone pair on O or S is involved in the initial stage of alkylation. The imbalanced TSs for the C-alkylation are accompanied by higher intrinsic barriers and deformation energies.
